With more than 170 still missing, communities must reconcile how to pick up the pieces around a waterway that remains both a wellspring and a looming menace.

Heavy rain poured over parts of central Texas, dumping more than a month's worth of rain for places like San Angelo.

At least 161 people remain missing in Kerr County, Texas, as authorities and volunteers search the Guadalupe River for victims.

The psychological toll of recovering the bodies of flood victims in Texas is drawing increased attention as the death toll grows.

More than 100 people have been confirmed dead since July 4, when the Guadalupe River in central Texas swelled overnight and triggered flash floods that swept through an area known locally as “Flash Flood Alley.

The Associated Press has assembled an approximate timeline of the 48 hours before, during and after the deadly flash flood, beginning with the activation of the state’s emergency response resources on July 2 — the same day Texas signed off on the camp’s emergency plan for disasters.
